Migrating a Project to CMake from Autotools

Do you have an old project that uses GNU autotools (autoconf, automake, libtool, etc.) to configure the build? Autotools are difficult to work with and don't support generating IDE projects. CMake provides better support for IDEs and is cross-platform.

This month, Richard Thomson will present a case study in converting a project from using autotools to using CMake. Some of the topics will include:

- Creating a basic CMake build from the makefile
- Replacing autoconf feature checks with CMake feature checks
- Replacing autoconf generated sources with CMake generated sources

This will be an online meeting, so drinks and snacks are on you!
